Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.
What are you afraid of? As a child, I distinctly remember being afraid of the dark. One particular night, I was walking through the field when a pack of coyotes started to howl in the creek bottom. I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and every shadow suddenly became an imminent threat. And I found myself running for the house!
One of the most powerful emotions is fear. It can cause us to react in ways that are not typical.
Yet, the fear of the Lord produces an awe, or reverence for God. It prevents us from blaspheming His holy name. It produces in us a desire to please Him. It leads us into His paths to follow Him completely. Instead of causing us to run, it draws us close. As you consider the Lord, may we stand in awe of Him and wonder at His might, beauty, and glory!
